Benedict Cumberbatch, star of the BBC series Sherlock (which brings Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s character of Sherlock Holmes into a modern-day setting) has been tapped by Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot to star in the sequel to J.J. Abrams‘ 2009 hit film Star Trek.
Cumberbatch will be assuming the villain role in the sequel. Bad Robot had previously been in talks with Benecio Del Toro for the role, but those negotiations broke down about a month ago. In addition to his role in Sherlock, Cumberbatch is recently finding himself with more film work. He stars in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and War Horse (both currently in theaters), and will be playing Smaug the dragon (via motion capture) and voicing the Necromancer in Peter Jackson‘s upcoming pair of Hobbit movies.
The crew from the 2009 film, headed by Chris Pine‘s Captain Kirk, are returning for the sequel. Joining Cumberbatch as newcomers in the cast are Noel Clarke, Alice Eve and RoboCop‘s Peter Weller. Abrams will return as director. Originally slated for a 2012 release, the sequel has now been moved to May 2013.

Reel Rumbles #39: ‘Paul’ vs. ‘Fanboys’
20, Oct 2011by Nigel Druitt
A (not so) long time ago, in a galaxy (not so) far, far away…
Episode XXXIX
It is a period of intergalactically-themed humor. A group of friends, striking at George Lucas‘s fortified base, have launched an attempt to steal a copy of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace before its 1999 release date.
Meanwhile, two British nerds, fresh from attending their first ComicCon, attempt to help a drug-addled alien with the voice of Seth Rogen escape our planet.
They are loving and raucous odes to science fiction fandom, locked in deadly combat. Two films will enter, one will leave. Even now, the first bell rings, and the epic battle of Paul vs. Fanboys is under way… Read the rest of this entry »

The sequel to J.J. Abrams‘ 2009 hit Star Trek has been eagerly anticipated by fans, while many delays have been endured. Recently, Paramount gave the sequel’s June 29, 2012 release date to G.I. Joe: Retaliation. But now, the script by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof is nearing completion, and one of the biggest questions on fans’ minds has been answered: After promising to focus on Trek after completing this summer’s Super 8, J.J. Abrams has finally committed to directing the sequel.
With pre-production starting, the script should be finished by the end of the month, and shooting commencing this winter. Now, only a few questions remain: What will be Star Trek 2‘s new release date? Will J.J. succumb to studio pressure to shoot in 3D? And, more importantly, will there be lens flares?
Abrams’ Super 8 hits Blu-ray and DVD November 22.
